Stomach stitch trial for weight regain halted early
NCT ID NCT02048033
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a procedure called endoscopic suturing (using the OverStitch device) to narrow the stomach opening in people who regained weight after gastric bypass surgery. The goal was to see if this minimally invasive stitch could help them lose weight again compared to standard care. The trial was terminated early, so we have limited data on how well it worked or its long-term effects.
